Description
After Lockdown: A Metamorphosis by Bruno Latour explores how our experience during the pandemic and lockdown can be used to understand the larger crisis of climate change. This sequel to Down to Earth offers a new perspective on how we live in the world, what kind of place 'earth' is, and how we will orient ourselves in the years to come. The book outlines the metaphysics of confinement and deconfinement, which are essential for coming to terms with our current situation. Latour argues that learning to live in lockdown might be an opportunity to seize a new way of living, one that involves understanding the true nature of climate change and discovering what kind of freedom is possible. By examining the lessons of the pandemic and lockdown, Latour provides a compass for re-orienting our lives towards a more sustainable future.
